BigOly Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Looks like Red-necked Phalarope to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psweet Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 They're Red Phalaropes -- the bill's fairly heavy, but more importantly Red-necked doesn't show the rufous on the rear flanks or rump that you see here. They're still molting, which makes what you can see of the back pattern problematic as an ID point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
